cumulative Flashcards
changes in – produces dimensional change of dental materials
temp
excessive contraction –>
microleakage and secondary caries
excessive expansion –>
pressure on pulp, post-operative sensitivity, restoration protrudes
force per unit area
stress
unit of stress
N/m^2 (Pa)
when stress exceeds the – of an object, object breaks
cohesive strength
stress =
force/ cross-sectional area
Force (N) = 111, Stress (MPa) = 172.4
(mm^2) = 0.645 Area
elastic limit or yield strength/point: the max stress a material can withstand without –
permanent deformation
tipping point between elastic and plastic strain
elastic limit or yield strength/point
current flow by a – between two dissimilar metals in contact in a solution
voltage difference
Galvanic corrosion, Al –
dissolves (corrodes)
Al forms –
anode
Copper is less likely to –
corrode
copper forms –
cathode
the greater the difference in voltage –>
greater current flow
anode in mouth
amalgam
cathode in mouth
gold
electrolyte in mouth
saliva
what kind of metal corrodes?
more active (more base)
what kind of metal resists corrosion?
less active (more noble)
pain sensation by electric current generated in a galvanic cell
galvanic shock
